Courgetti Bolognese

Bolognese is a staple week night dinner in most peoples diet and since being diagnosed with Crohns and being on such a restricted diet, it is one of the dinners I have really missed. But I am so lucky to have a mum like I do who is prepared to play around with ingredients and make new recipes safe for me to eat. I wanted to share my 'Bolognese' recipe with you because it is so so good.

You will need...

• Turkey mince
• 1 Carrot - grated
• 1/2 carton of passata
• 1 clove garlic crushed (I can tolerate garlic but for those who cant, don't include)
• 1 table spoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 table spoon stevia
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 cal oil spray
• 1 spiralized courgette (or can use pasta if would prefer)

I used half a pack of turkey mince so I had enough for two meals. One for dinner and one for lunch the next day!

• Spritz a frying pan with 1 cal spray and warm it up
• Once oil is hot, put turkey mince into the pan and using a wooden spoon break it up. Stir it round and brown
• Add the grated carrot in and keep stirring, mixing the carrot with the mince
• Once turkey has browned, add in the passata. I used half of a carton so it was nice and juicy. Then add in the garlic, stevia, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper and keep stirring till warm through
• For the courgetti, spiralize the vegetable then place in boiling water for 4 minutes so it is warm through and soft. I peel my courgette before spiralizing as I cannot tolerate vegetable skins. If you don't like courgette, you can always use pasta.
• Drain the courgetti/spaghetti and place half in a bowl (save the other half for lunch!) then spoon on the Bolognese
• I grated a bit of Lactose Free Cheese on top of mine to serve
